The story
QuickPoll is for finding a time quickly: invite people, collect when they are free, pick a slot, book. After that worked for logged-in users, guest and public links were added so someone without an account could still respond.
Polls
QuickPoll for finding a time fast, and public polls so guests can join without a full account.
The problem
Not every meeting needs a full booking link. People wanted a simple “when works for you?” poll. Guests also needed to answer without creating a full account. Closing a poll had to show the booked meeting clearly.
What changed
Hosts create a poll, add people, set rules, and optionally set an expiry. Participants mark when they are free, including custom options, across timezones. Hosts close the poll when they are done. After a time is chosen, the poll shows the scheduled meeting. Guests can enter a name and join without a full signup.
How it was built
The poll was designed as a short path with a real ending: a booked meeting on screen, not a dead link. Guest access was added without turning the whole product into a signup wall. Small friction (going back, closed polls, joining late) was cleaned up so the main path stayed short.
Outcome
- Teams can find a time without a full booking setup.
- Guests can take part without a full account.
- A closed poll shows the booked meeting on screen.
